Ger Gilroy

no but I don't know like from from this season and even in the bad times as well like he's been my question is do you not hold him in any way accountable for not for phoning it in for about 18 months in the middle of this contract no I don't when he was the highest paid player at the club was he the highest paid 375 is that what it was money's a relevant role and massive wages it it

I think all that money matters.

I think that the Pogba contract poisoned the well for everybody.

There was a few of those contracts where lads who weren't trying were getting paid more than some of the players coming through.

That's a poisonous atmosphere.

Difficult for any manager to rescue.

True.

I think the money doesn't matter in terms of

they will always be able to generate enough revenue to sign new players.

But I do think it matters when a washed up has-been, I'm not saying that was him, but there were others, are on mad money and your McTominays are actually trying their eyeballs out.

Very briefly, the Newcastle-West Ham game I suppose is actually probably the most important game on Sunday in terms of the outcome having a material impact.

I think West Ham got a Newcastle win.

I only saw the highlights of that, but it did look like it was one of those smash and grab three ones.

I would say if the scouts from Bayern were looking at Newcastle and weren't looking at one of the three midfielders who's been there and going, that guy would actually improve our team as opposed to that guy.

Maybe they have a plan for him.

So that is at half past five.

On Sunday, yeah.

What a weird weekend of fixtures.

So far away.

That is the time for Spurs to get Chelsea though.
